Chapter 669 The response was enthusiastic
In terms of excitement, Andrew Garfield was the most excited.
While filming, he had a hunch that the role of David would have a lot of room for development. When he actually saw his performance on the screen, Andrew Garfield had a strange feeling.
I am so cool, I am so handsome, I am so cute...well, I am so incompetent, I am so stupid.
But overall, the look and feel is quite good.
The end of the second episode ends with David and Lucy meeting for the first time. If you want to see the third episode, you have to wait until next Friday.
Although the second episode was very depressing, it seemed to give people some hope in the end. David had Sean Westan and met Lucy.
After the second episode, Julia Roberts posted a photo of herself and Andrew Garfield on the set on social platforms.
She also wrote: "I am very happy to be a guest in this series. This is a great series. The story is heart-warming, the scenes are explosive, and there are many action scenes.
Only It’s a pity that I have too few roles. Can Director Gilbert let me play more roles?”
The other actresses secretly scolded you, a shameless old woman, and you are still fighting for position? We want to act too.
Several of little Gilbert's friends also came forward on social platforms to express their support for "Edgewalker".
Other stars are not far behind, and have expressed that they have become loyal fans of "Edgewalker".
In addition to selling little Gilbert a face, more importantly, the first two episodes of this series were quite successful.
Hurry up and show your goodwill at this time. What if little Gilbert makes a movie or something in the future and thinks of himself?
These star actors may still have some moisture in them, but the audience's comments are quite real.
Johnny didn't even want to miss the ending song. After watching it, he excitedly commented online: "Fake, Fake, Fake, this is such a cool show, I declare that I am a fan of this show. ”
“Ah ah ah, played by Andrew David is so handsome, I want to marry him.”
“Go away, I don’t want a male wife.”
“Lucy played by Scarlett is my goddess, so sexy. This tight suit is killing me.”
"Does little Gilbert like women to wear tights? It's appeared in several movies."
"Oh no, if you find out, be careful that little Gilbert silences you. However, I also like it very much." ”
Not only did the audience spread the word of mouth, but the online media also gave their evaluation scores. As many as 23 online media gave the series an average score of 9.4, demonstrating the series' high quality.
On IMDB, "Edge Walker" received a high score of 9.5 from the very beginning, which is a high-scoring drama. As long as the quality of subsequent episodes can keep up, maintaining a score above 9 is not a problem.
Those traditional print media are working overtime to format reports. The first series directed by Gilbert Jr. has created such a huge popularity that it is impossible for the media not to participate.
What's more important is the data. The data in the second episode has increased a lot compared to the first episode. Combined, HBO and Disney pay channels combined, a total of 18.6 million people watched "Edgewalker".
Taking into account the reach of the audience, there may actually be as many as 30 to 40 million viewers watching the series.
The influence brought by this is huge. First of all, the IP "Edge Walker" became famous, and little Gilbert's cyberpunk plan took off.
The other thing is peripherals. As soon as the project started, little Gilbert worked with board game manufacturers to promote the development of peripheral products.
In addition to the theme park and board game card sales, there are also various peripheral products that appear in the show. For example, gun models, Night City floating vehicles, and luxury car models.
There are also mantis swords, samurai swords, and various prosthetic implants made in equal proportions. In addition, there are keychains for doll figures of each character, as well as peripherals co-branded with major products.
It can be said that as long as you think of it, you can do it, but what you need is the success of the series. But judging from the current situation, the series has undoubtedly been a success. This show has won the love of countless viewers, including Jack Zhao and Erin, Bachel Lutz and the Evans family, Zoe and Doug, Lewis, and Salati Merton.
These loyal fans of Little Gilbert love this show so much that some even excitedly said online:
“Only Little Gilbert can think It’s great to have such a wonderful story, I can’t wait to watch the third episode.”
"But the third and fourth episodes have to wait until next week, damn it."
"Can it be replayed?"
The audience's willingness to replay is very strong, and at this time Xigua Video It was announced that "Edgewalker" will be available on the video website on Monday.
There are also functions for message discussion and barrage communication, and you can unlock new ways to watch dramas with netizens, etc.
In order to attract viewers, the Xigua website also came up with a way to draw lucky viewers, giving away peripherals and autographs from the main creators.
In addition, at midnight, Xigua Video also released Little Gilbert’s first exclusive interview with online media.
In the exclusive interview, Gilbert Jr. talked in detail about the motivation for creating the show "Edgewalker" and how to create the world of Night City.
When talking about the subsequent plot development, Gilbert Jr. said: "The subsequent story can be said to be a very passionate story, but the background of Night City will not change.
Maybe Audiences have noticed every aspect of Night City , this is a world controlled by big companies, and it will be difficult to break through such shackles.
If you have too strong empathy, I suggest you not watch this show, otherwise you will find out. I can’t stop crying.”
The exclusive interview content also attracted a large number of netizens to watch. Even at midnight, more than one million people watched the exclusive interview content in a short period of time.
Little Gilbert’s remarks were ignored by the excited audience just like pornographic websites that cannot be clicked by those under 18 years of age.
The next day, the discussion about "Edgewalker" still did not stop. At this stage, more film critics and media joined in.
Everyone began to analyze the reasons for the success of this series and explore the underlying reasons.
In addition, there are also plot analysis parties who have begun to combine the plot and the settings of the original tabletop game, and have begun to explain and analyze the subsequent plot, which is quite decent.
Media reports, audience love and analysis have made "Edge Walker" reach a very high level of popularity.
At this time, it seems that everyone has overlooked one thing, that is, "Fantastic Four 2" was released at the same time, and there was almost no discussion.
Twentieth Century Fox originally had very high expectations for "Fantastic Four 2", but they did not expect that the broadcast of "Edgewalker" would also affect the movie.
"Fantastic Four 2" was released without any attention, quietly taking in a first-day box office of US$13.27 million. What's even worse than the first week's box office is that no one is talking about the film.
The worst thing is not being scolded, but the lack of discussion.
20th Century Fox was dumbfounded, how could the series still impact "Fantastic Four 2".
Another person who was dumbfounded was Chris Evans, who was originally discussing an actor contract with Marvel Studios. But the other party has been unwilling to give in, and he wants more remuneration.
But if "Fantastic Four 2" hits the market, there will be no reason for me to charge a high price.
This is simply a bolt from the blue and a major blow to Chris Evans.
Compared to 20th Century Fox, Warner Pictures’ feelings are more complicated.
